Chart: Rxo-1 (Microspherically Focused Log Mudcake Correction)

Applications: Correction of Microspherically Focused resistivity for mudcake effects

Nomenclature: RMSFL . . . . . . . . Microspherically Focused resistivity


RMSFLcor . . . . . . Microspherically Focused resistivity corrected for mudcake effects
Rmc . . . . . . . . . mudcake resistivity at formation temperature
hmc . . . . . . . . . mudcake thickness

Given: RMSFL = 14 ohm•m


Rmc = 1 ohm•m
hmc = 0.175 in

Find: RMSFLcor
RMSFL
Procedure: To determine the point on the axis at which to enter the chart, calculate
Rmc

RMSFL 14 ohm•m
= = 14
Rmc 1 ohm•m

Project vertically into the chart and use the hmc = 0.0 in and hmc = 0.25 in curves to estimate where the
projection would intersect an hmc = 0.175 in curve. From that intersection point, project horizontally to
R R
the MSFLcor axis, there estimating MSFLcor to be 0.88. Calculate
